OK, this is far out of my comfort-zone

but... a friend and fellow modeler challenged me to build a Revell Chopper, actually he challenged me AND another modeler so, right now we are building choppers and will show them in public at a big contest in Stockholm, Sweden early april this year.

I have decided I don't wanna build a HD, so I'm puttin' an old Triumph engine in the frame. The engine is 1/8 while the frame "is said to be 1/12" (but actually looks more like 1/10) so I've had to do some frame-stretching and a few "dirty tricks" on the engine.

'nuff said, pic's speak for themselves:
